Background: It is known that Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in milk can have carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic activities especially in liver for both children and adults. The main aim of this survey was to investigate the incidence of AFM1 in human and cow milk in Kashan, Iran. Methods: A total of 42 breast milk samples were collected from a central hospital in Kashan city during 3-...

This study was carried out to detect the presence of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in 30 UHT flavored milk samples in Karaj, Alborz province of Iran. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was applied to analyse AFM1 in the samples. Result showed that aflatoxin M1 was detected in all the UHT flavored milk samples, the concentration of AFM1 was ranged from 0.015 to 0.14 µg/kg. Also, 10 samples (33....

background aflatoxins are a group of very toxic compounds produced by a fungal species and are found in food products. aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a type found in dairy products and resistant to pasteurization. afm1 can adversely affect hepatocytes in human and leading to various liver diseases. thus, it is essential to examine raw milk for the presence of afm1. conclusions according to the results ...

aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is a hydroxylated metabolite of the carcinogen aflatoxin b1 (afb1), and may be found in the milk of lactating animals that have ingested feedstuffs contaminated with afb1 between jun 2010 and march 2011, 149 samples of pasteurized (n=90) and uht (n=59) milk were collected from supermarkets in the cities of shiraz, khuzestan and yazed, iran. all samples were analyzed for afm1...

background: a flatoxins are one of the most important types of mycotoxins that are produced by aspergillus species such as a. flavus and a. parasiticus on contaminated feed. a flatoxin m 1 (afm 1 ) is excreted in milk of those lactating animals which have ingested a flatoxin b 1 contaminated feed. the aim of this study is to determine the presence and level of aflatoxin m1 in white iranian chee...

There is a growing concern regarding the recurrent observation of aflatoxins (AFs) in the milk of lactating animals. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to assess the aflatoxin M1 (AFM1)-binding ability of three species, namely Lactobacillus rhamnosus, L. plantarum, and Saccharomyces boulardii, inAFM1-contaminatedmilk. The mentioned species were a...

This study was implemented to research the aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) level due economic losses and public health concerns resulting from presence of in food. A total 82 raw cow milk samples were randomly obtained dairy farms Burdur they examined terms AFM1 using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. It found that between 5.06 50.63 ng kg-1 48 (58.5%) analysed average contamination rate 15...

Three hundred and ninety-three samples of dairy products (124 samples of white cheese, 61 samples of cream cheese, 76 samples of Kashar cheese, and 132 samples of butter), 91 samples of cashew nut and 97 macademia nut marketed in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia during September 2010-September 2011, were analyzed for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), total aflatoxin and AFB1 by microtitre plate enzyme linked ...

aflatoxin m1 (afm1) is an important mycotoxin frequently found in milk and dairy products. dairy products and colostrum may be contaminated by aflatoxin m1 when dairy cattle have fed with aflatoxin b1-contaminated feeds. this study was undertaken in a dairy farm around tehran province to determine the presence and level of aflatoxin m1 (afm1) in spray dried and lyophilized colostrum samples. in...

[14C]Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) was isolated from cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus grown on [1-14C]sodium acetate. Covalent binding of AFB1 to liver DNA of rat and mouse was determined 6-8 h after oral administration. The effectiveness of covalent binding, expressed as DNA binding per dose in the units of a 'Covalent Binding Index' (CBI), (micromol aflatoxin/mol DNA nucleotides)/(mmol aflatoxin/kg ...
